Chapter 2: What actions is President Trump taking to address the flight crisis?
Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has the details.
The Justice Department announced over the weekend that the president pardoned more than 70 of his allies over actions they took in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. Along with the former New York City mayor, Trump pardoned his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, constitutional lawyer John Eastman, lawyer and conservative radio host Jenna Ellis, and attorney Sidney Powell.

The International Olympic Committee is reportedly preparing to ban transgender-identifying men in women's sports. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has the story.
The policy reversal follows a scientific review concluding that biological males retain permanent physical advantages even after hormone treatment. According to sources inside the organization, the move marks a major shift under new IOC president Christy Coventry, who has vowed to protect the integrity of women's competition.
For years, the IOC has allowed trans-identifying males to compete if they reduce testosterone levels below 10 nanomoles per liter for at least 12 months. That left enforcement up to each sport. That approach led to inconsistent policies with sports like swimming and track already implementing bans on males and women's events, while others, including soccer, did not.

The president's attorneys have demanded that the BBC, quote, retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements and apologize, or else face a $1 billion lawsuit.
